Creekside El, Corpus Christi TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Creekside El

Creekside Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Corpus Christi. It is a regular public school within the Corpus Christi Independent School District.

The school's state test results from the most recent year show mixed academic performance across grade levels and subjects. In English language arts, the school's strength is in grade five, where proficiency runs substantially higher than in grades three and four. Math proficiency is more consistent, with grades four and five both performing solidly while grade three lags noticeably behind. Science proficiency, measured only in grade five, falls below the performance levels in reading and math. Across all tested subjects and grade levels, Creekside's overall proficiency places it in the top quartile when compared to other districts in Nueces County.

Enrollment and demographic data for the school were not available, so a reader cannot assess the school's student composition, the share of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the proportion of English learners, or the number of special education students from the available information.

Creekside sits in an area of active housing development. The zip code where the school is located shows home values at a moderate level relative to the national benchmark, and rental rates suggest housing remains broadly accessible, though affordability metrics indicate some tightness between rent and typical household income in the region.

The broader district context is one of significant change. Corpus Christi ISD has experienced sharp enrollment decline and approved the closure of seven schools for the 2026-27 school year, including four elementary buildings and three middle schools. This consolidation was driven by budget deficits and projected further decline in student population. While Creekside Elementary itself was not among the schools marked for closure, the district's shrinking enrollment and ongoing rezoning mean that attendance boundaries, transportation patterns, and which schools neighboring families can access are in flux. A parent considering this school or the area may want to confirm directly with the district that current zoning assignments for their prospective address remain stable, given the ongoing consolidation and its rezoning effects.

The school's state test data reflects only the current year, so trend information over multiple years was not available. The school serves only pre-K through fifth grade, so no graduation rate or high school pathway information applies.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
